Online MLS Betting Update for Sportsbook Players

As we prepared for an MLS filled weekend, Orlando City prepared to face Atlanta United this past Friday. The two clubs have quite a rivalry brewing, and United got the last laugh Friday, shutting out Orlando in a clear 1-0 victory.

Saturday offered a much broader MLS menu, with a total of 8 matchups for fans to tune in for. The action got off to an enticing start as NYC FC pulled a 2-1 win over the Chicago Fire. From there fans got treated to an even more impressive performance as the New York Red Bulls bulldozed the Minnesota United 3-0.

Toronto FC delivered the first tie of the day in a 1-1 finish against Colorado. Shortly after, the Houston Dynamo taunted DC United in a 3-1 win.

New England faced a tough challenge in the LA Galaxy, but the Revolution found a way to come out on top in this 4-3 shootout. Columbus didn’t have to score as much to defeat Philadelphia, needing just 1 score to deliver the 1-0 finish.

Sunday was not as diverse, offering just two matchups throughout the day. The first contest between Vancouver and Portland ended 2-1 in Portland’s favor. Then the Seattle Sounders delivered a 3-0 pounding to San Jose.

This Wednesday, online MLS betting fans will be able to wager on a contest between Philadelphia Union and Columbus Crew. Let’s take a look at what sportsbook lines are predicting for this evening’s contest.
